What's the best fix for keeping the ECU plug "SECURELY" connected when the plastic nut finally cracked of old age ???? I've got Ty-Raps on it now, wondering if a piece of hose slid over the connector and 2 hose clamps would be best ?

new coupling ring P/n is 190491 , id be scared hose might flex and let connection be loose ,ring does a good job i guess heat and gas fumes effect its composition and cracks um

The ring on my motor has been broken since I got it a few years ago. It has had electrical tape holding it together. What are some possible issues from a loose connection? I suppose electrical tape is not an adequate fix and I should also get on ordering the correct ring.
dropping clys because of no inj operation ,dies at full throttle or no start = loose connection no fuel pump operation , scrored cyl =lean intermittent inj operation, part too cheap to risk blown engine

Thanks Joe. I've been chasing a poor idle issue for a while and God knows I've thrown enough money at more expensive parts. I'll get it on before I run the motor this year.
Josh- Definitely a wise move.
I should point out that we really do need to keep posts to ONE engine (which helps to avoid confusion and/or what is commonly known as Post Hi-Jacking). See the Announcements at the top of the Forum for information on this and other guidelines.
Nikon Man is pretty cool so it's not a big problem this time.
